20 Under 20 Local Teens Making Their Mark

22

R O C K L I N

As I sit down to write this, I can’t help but be distracted by the balmy 74-degree day tempting me outside. The breeze is barely blowing, the sky is a vibrant blue with cottonball clouds, and birds are singing sweetly as they soar from one blossoming tree to the next. But alas, my inner child cannot go out and play; I’m an adult now and have an impending deadline to meet, so I’ll save my fun in the sun for this weekend. Speaking of al fresco activities, this issue is a perfect reminder of just how many outdoorsy options are, literally, right outside our doorstep. From wine tasting (see page 17 for Some olddetails on this month’s fashioned Lincoln Wine Fest) to things like hiking (check out Tara fresh air and Mendanha’s piece on “Local sunshine are Hikes” in The 10 Spot to find a hard to beat.” new fav) and biking (before —Laura Ingalls your next ride, don’t miss Wilder Sabrina Gonzalez’s “MustHave Biking Accessories” in Swag), there’s something to encourage everyone to get off the couch and out-of-doors. But it’s not only fresh air fun that abounds in our backyard. In my humble opinion, we also have some of the brightest, most benevolent, and inspiring youth (thanks in big part to their dedicated teachers and parents) living here. And in this month’s feature, “20 Under 20,” we highlight a small sampling of them. After asking readers and school administrators for nominations, the names—and their remarkable stories—came flooding in… tales of teens who make it a mission to serve their community via volunteer work, those who have triumphed despite health adversities, and others who excel in athletics and performing arts while still maintaining a GPA that I only dreamed of getting. It’s one of my favorite features of the year, and I hope you’ll agree. If you’re feeling like an underachiever after reading about the successes of those half your age, then remember this: Accomplishments aside, we’re all lucky to be alive and live in such a beautiful place, so get outside and soak up that sunshine. — Megan megan@stylemg.com

J.D. McDonald Escape

Rex Carpenter is a Vietnam veteran passionate about helping the homeless. Shortly after his return from the war, he and his wife, Linda, began volunteering in a Southern California soup kitchen. They were soon shocked to discover how much need there was. Even more shocking was how little area residents seemed to care about what was happening in their own backyard. “A lot of the community was against the homeless,” he shares. “They didn’t want to do anything for them.” Over time, he and his wife became so involved in the soup kitchen that they ended up taking over day-to-day operations. After moving to Rocklin, Carpenter decided to check out the Placer Food Bank (placerfoodbank.org) to see if he could lend a hand. He walked into the main office, took

Carpenter’s ultimate goal is to break the stigma against aiding the homeless. “One thing I’ve learned is that you can’t judge,” he explains. “Whenever you give something—whether it’s food, money or time—you just give it, and you let it go.” —Amber Foster

SEASON’S EATINGS

PlacerGROWN and Foothill Farmers’ Market

WHAT’S IN SEASON: STRAWBERRIES NUTRITION A harbinger of spring, the most popular berry fruit in the world begins its vibrant showing this month. Strawberries are a true superfood, and will add color and vibrancy to your table throughout spring and summer. Rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, they’re also excellent at regulating blood sugar and lowering inflammation. The recommended serving of fruits by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is between 1.5-2.5 cups per day. With the CDC using an example of strawberries for the serving, eight large strawberries counts as a cup, so 12-20 a day meets the requirement in a most delicious way.

SELECTION AND STORAGE

by CAROL ARNOLD

item only enjoyed by the wealthy due to its perishability. Once railways were built, they could be shipped longer distances and enjoyed by more people. Strawberries were also used in pies with a more accessible ingredient, rhubarb (nicknamed the “pie plant” starting in 19thcentury America). Only the stalks of rhubarb are used, as their leaves are high in oxalic acid, and should be firm, glossy, and used soon after har vesting. The combination of strawberry and rhubarb creates a sweet and tart flavor.

Strawberries are easy to choose at the market, as they wear their goodness on the outside. Ripe berries have a vibrant rosy, rich color and do not ripen further after picking. On average, they’re best eaten within two days of purchase. They require high humidity so should be stored in your refrigerator’s vegetable drawer.

LOCAL HIKES The 10 Spot

by TARA MENDANHA

Wildflowers, gushing waterfalls and crisp air are abundant in our stunning Nor Cal backyard, so get out and get active with our pick of must-do hikes this spring– and don't forget the bug spray!

4

Hidden Falls Regional Park. This 1,200-acre park

is between Auburn and Lincoln, south of Bear River. Boasting approximately 30 miles of trails for hiking, biking and equestrian riding, there are two observation decks along the way and lots of foot waterfalls, creeks, picnic areas, swimming holes and fishing accesses where you’ll be treated to views of the Sacramento Valley and beyond.

5

Stevens Trail. At 7.2 miles, this trail skirts the American River and is rich in mining history—not to mention very scenic. Famed for its waterfalls, abandoned mineshaft and blue butterflies, this trail does get narrow and a tad lonely at times (so bring a friend), but the views are worth it. Parking is on North Canyon Way in Colfax. Bassi Falls. This easy, 1.2-mile trail in El Dorado National Forest is great for hiking. The trip to the waterfall is short and easy, and dogs are allowed. The seasonal waterfall is 110-feet tall and can be heard from the car park. The walk is 20-30 minutes long and begins off Highway 50, twenty miles east of Placerville.

Hidden Falls Regional Park

1

Effie Yeaw Nature Center. This award-winning environmental

education center in Carmichael has a 100-acre nature preserve featuring trails that meander along the American River. The nature study trails are easy to walk and fun for the family, offering a glimpse at local inhabitants including deer, coyotes, migratory songbirds and raptors.

2

Sly Park Jenkinson Loop Trail. A moderate, shaded

hike, this trail at Sly Park in Pollock Pines features Jenkinson Lake and is doable for the whole family. Dogs and horses are also allowed. The full loop is about eight miles but a shorter trip can be made. Fish, kayak or canoe on the lake or just relax. You can also catch the Park Creek Waterfall that flows down to the lake.

3

Jedediah Smith Memorial Trail/American River Bike Trail. Beginning

north of Downtown Sacramento and finishing at Beal’s Point at Folsom Lake, this 32-mile-long trail is one of the longest paved trails in the country. Areas of interest along the way include Discovery Park, the Guy West Bridge and Lake Natoma. There are plenty of places to rest, picnic and enjoy the scenery for bikers, walkers, inline skaters and horseback riders.

hike the Homestead Trail, then connect to Blue Ridge along the way, which leads up to a creek. You can find great views of Lake Berryessa along the way. Some parts are steep on this 4.4-mile hike, and there isn’t much shade, so bring plenty of sunblock and water. The trailhead starts at Stebbins Cold Canyon Reserve.

10

Codfish Creek Falls Discovery Trail. Follow the American River for some great views along this dirt path in Colfax that’s mostly flat and easy. You’ll see flowers and remnants of old dredge mining operations from when the river was mined for gold. On reaching Codfish Creek, follow the trail upstream to Codfish Creek Falls—a 50-foot cascading waterfall. The trailhead is on Ponderosa Way.

ASK THE EXPERT What is heart rate training, and how does it improve your fitness?

Spring Things by MONICA NITZ

ROCKLIN REVEAL

On April 8, the city will showcase their 2017 schedule of events, concerts and community programs. Attendees can look forward to an afternoon of fun at the free event, which will include a variety of food trucks, kids’ activities and live music. There will also be a chance to meet with city officials from each department to see how their teams help shape the community.

CAMP EDMO

The city has partnered with Camp Edmo to help residents raise curious, courageous and kind kids. Why? Because research shows these character traits are highly predictive of high achievement and life satisfaction (i.e., happy grown ups). Camp Edmo works with the brightest educational minds from top universities, like UC Berkley, and leading museums, such as the California Academy of Sciences, to incorporate the latest methods of building social and emotional learning (SEL) and character skills through science, maker, tech and nature programs. This spring, they’re bringing two ingeniously fun camps for kiddos in grades K-4. In City Blocks, campers will complete a range of architectural challenges, both with physical materials and in the digital world of Minecraft. In Wildlife Wonder, they’ll explore and discover the strange things some North American creatures must do to eat, communicate, avoid predators, and survive natural disasters. Programs start the week of April 10. For more information, visit rocklin.ca.us/classesand-programs.

The concept is based on reaching and maintaining an ideal heart rate through exercise and movement. Heart ratebased workouts are scientifically designed to keep heart rates in a target zone, which spikes metabolism and increases energy. The science behind these workouts focuses on excess post-exercise oxygenconsumption (EPOC), which is just a fancy way of saying that when someone spends at least 12-20 minutes in their target zone, the body needs to replenish oxygen after the workout is over. To do this, your body continues Darren Bassel // Orangetheory Fitness to burn calories at a higher rate— // 2030 Douglas Boulevard, Suite 39 Roseville // 916-771-4683, roseville. even after the workout has ended! orangetheoryfitness.com

Sticks and stones, meet your match

Mark Lee, M.D. Health care innovator

It’s been said a broken bone heals stronger. Sadly that’s not the case – and severe fractures often don’t mend at all. So orthopaedic surgeon Mark Lee is pioneering new ways to capture and use a patient’s own stem cells in order to grow new bone and improve healing – adding some truth to that old adage. This is health through innovation.

Auburn Placer Performing Arts Center Historic Theatre Takes Center Stage Since its inception in 1930, the State Theatre has had deep roots in the community. After numerous renovations and conceptual changes, the building now stands as a state-of-the-art venue in Downtown Auburn that hosts a myriad of performances. This year, the refurbished theatre will have seen over 49,000 patrons, including civic groups, businesses and organizations that rent the space for events. The nonprofit, Auburn Placer Performing Arts Center (APPAC) owns and operates this historic site and has almost 40 volunteers, including a board of directors who serve around 7,000 hours each year. “It’s our mission to enhance the quality of life and cultural awareness of our community by providing performing arts, film and educational experiences,” shares Executive Director Janis Wikoff.

HLB: ARE THERE ANY INTERESTING TIDBITS ABOUT THE STATE THEATRE? JW: The interior includes drawings on the ceiling and throughout the building that were sketched by William Chavalas—a graduate of the Athens School of Fine Arts—and then transferred. He rented Kenison’s Hall in Auburn to have a large wall on which to stretch the transfer paper. The “neoclassical” design includes details that come from ancient Greek vases, [and features colors like] blue, light yellow and red, interwoven with greens, silver and gold. HLB: WHAT ARE THE THEATRE’S BEST ATTRIBUTES? JW: The State Theatre is a great place to see a movie and a concert,

TrueNorth Cycling Studio

Spin Me ’Round by KOURTNEY JASON

SoulCycle, Peloton, Flywheel—you’ve likely heard your gym-fanatic friends talking about these trendy gyms that specialize in spin classes… but what exactly is indoor cycling? This form of group exercise uses a stationary bicycle with a weighted flywheel to perform cardiovascular exercise, explains Sharon Thompson, owner of fitRIDE in El Dorado Hills. “The frequency [with which] someone should perform indoor cycling depends on their goals,” she continues. Though safe to do every day and good for most ages, Thompson does advise that individuals with hypertension, and pregnant women, should consult their doctor before participating. As you may have noticed, indoor cycling has recently grown in popularity. And it’s no surprise why. Right and opposite page: fitRIDE

It’s an efficient way to exercise. “In one, 45-minute fitRIDE class, the average calorie burn is over 450—depending on the participant’s effort,” Thompson says. “In our fast-paced, overscheduled lives, squeezing in a workout can be difficult, so [it's important] to make it count.”

1

It’s low-impact. Nicole Prine, co-founder of TrueNorth Cycling Studio in Folsom, says you can see the cardio and physical benefits of cycling in a short amount of time. “Indoor cycling is a low-impact workout,” she continues. “Although the instructor leads the class, each rider can moderate his/her own workout using resistance, making it suitable for almost anyone at any fitness level.”

2

You’ll build endurance. “[Classes] focus on building endurance and strength using intervals and resistance,” Thompson says. “FitRIDE's program also incorporates core work and weights for an effective full-body workout.”

It’s good for heart health. Cycling for 45 minutes or more will keep your heart rate well within a vigorous range; and with continuous cardiovascular activity, you’ll be able to lower your risk of heart disease. “Participants of all ages can ride long-term,” Thompson says. “It offers a great cardiovascular workout for good heart health.”

4

It’s easy to combine with other exercises. “It’s important to balance cardio exercise with strengthening and stretching exercises, like barre—which is a strengthening and lengthening workout, and uses isometric training based on ballet and Pilates movements—or yoga,” Prine says.

Parents of kids in grades 1-6 enjoy 24-hr. convenience, before/after and school holiday coverage, school pick-up and drop-off service, homework support, summer programs and exceptional 7:1 child to teacher ratio with experienced caregiver Rob Yates. Built on a character development curriculum, TELOS keeps children active and learning through exploring, hiking and geocaching, riding bikes and electric scooters, swimming and lots of sports, the tree house and trampoline, indoor creativity and so much more!

You’ll sleep better. With most exercise routines, you’ll notice that it helps to improve the quality of your sleep each night. Indoor cycling will help you sleep better and improve your overall well-being, Prine says.

Goodbye stress! “There are different types of indoor cycling classes,” Prine says. “We ride to the beat of the music and keep the studio dark so that [students] can tune into their ride and out of their head.”

PROTECT Putting the Brakes on Human Trafficking

The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA) defines “severe forms of trafficking in persons” as follows: SEX TRAFFICKING: the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for the purpose of a commercial sex act, in which the commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion. or in which the person induced to perform such act has not attained 18 years of age.

by MORGAN CÁSAREZ

According to the National Human Trafficking Hotline, there are a number of misconceptions surrounding the serious crime. We may think, for example, “It’s not happening in my community,” or, “It only affects children.”

LABOR TRAFFICKING: the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for labor or services, through the use of force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery.

The first federal anti-trafficking legislation was introduced in the U.S. nearly two decades ago, but since 2007, the National Human Trafficking Hotline has received over 168,000 calls and identified more than 26,000 potential cases of human trafficking throughout the country—cases of modern-day slavery involving both sex and labor trafficking, children and adults, men and women. The Department of Health and Human Services’ Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP) identifies more than a dozen populations as being especially vulnerable to these crimes, including children in the juvenile justice and foster care systems, runaway and homeless youth, victims of violence, members of the LGBTQ community, undocumented immigrants, and racial and ethnic minorities. Human trafficking is a problem affecting every country in the world, and California is among the nation’s topranked destinations for it. The newest voice in the ongoing fight against human trafficking is PROTECT, a statewide education program launched in January and dedicated to reducing the vulnerability of California children through education.With the help of Cisco’s learning management platform, county leaders, community professionals, educators and students in grades 5, 7, 9 and 11 will have access to age-appropriate learning resources centered around human trafficking, including its dangers, warning signs, and prevention and response techniques. With the help of grants from the Rural County Representatives of California and the National Homebuyers Fund, the program is currently being piloted in five rural counties, including El Dorado and Placer. Over the next three years, it will gradually launch throughout the state’s 30 remaining rural counties and has the potential to reach 325,000 students and educators. PROTECT was the brainchild of three anti-trafficking organizations— Love Never Fails, Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives, and 3Strands Global Foundation, an El Dorado Hills-based nonprofit. “[3Strands] began after a 17-year-old from El Dorado Hills was taken and trafficked in the Bay Area for eight days.” shares 3Strands Global President Ashlie Bryant. “In 2011, while taking this amazing survivor to work, she shared that if she had understood the tactics of this trafficker she might have known what he was doing.With this inspiration, we started educating in the classroom.” Since its inception, 3Strands has educated more than 20,000 community members throughout the Greater Sacramento area about human trafficking via its Break Free runs and events. “The power of [PROTECT],” she shares, “lies in collaboration and leveraging technology and protocols to reach as many students as possible.” protectnow.org photos by DANTE FONTANA

Boldly Balanced A Lofty Makeover

by KERRIE L. KELLY, ASID

While monochromatic color palettes can be seen all around us, its most established presence might be in the design world. A fusion of high contrast and creative interpretation, the black and white trend is here to stay. Combining glossy with matte and printed with plain, alongside geometric prints and metallic accessories, this boldly balanced loft is a cozy and contemporary nest for a young, stylish couple. The master bedroom had a perfect structure for DIY wainscoting and the addition of visual elements and sophisticated design details, while the two windows added a perfect amount of natural light, allowing the stark colors to truly shine. Typically, millennials prefer spaces that are sleek and streamlined, so this space offers clean lines, high contrast and a neutral color palette. Kerrie L. Kelly is an interior designer who has created several model homes in Northern California. See her latest set at Veranda at Empire Ranch by Elliott Homes in Folsom or online at kerriekelly.com.

MAKING THEIR MARK

M

iriam has a passion for both the arts and science, and has been involved in theater since she was a child, earning roles both as an actress and a stage manager during her four years participating in theater at Woodcreek High School. Education-wise, she plans on making science a priority by attending Vanderbilt University to major in molecular and cellular biology, with a minor in religious studies. “After that, I plan on going to graduate school and eventually working as a research scientist, with a focus on cancer research.

She’s been involved in Student Government all four years and her election as president was a dream come true. “It made me feel as though I’ve earned the respect of my fellow Student Government members, and it’s been such an amazing opportunity getting to lead our work in bringing the school together.”—EP

His accomplishments include upholding a 4.0 GPA, promoting Hispanic and multicultural awareness as part of Jesuit High School’s La Raza Club, serving meals to the homeless at The Gathering Inn, being on the Youth Leadership Team at Bayside Church, and working with kids at the City of Roseville’s day camps—the achievement he’s most proud of. Colin explains that it was a tough interview process and “having parents and staff put their trust in me to take care of kids was a huge responsibility and honor that I’m grateful for.” In addition to helping kids, Colin also helps his peers through tutoring as part of the California Scholarship Federation, and has assisted senior citizens by helping plan social activities at the Sunrise Assisted Living Facility. The teen is also very active in sports, whether skiing or stand-up paddle boarding, and recently ran his first Spartan Race. Additionally, he’s played water polo and is currently on the varsity volleyball team at Jesuit, where he was awarded MVP and the Leadership Award in previous years. His accomplishments are endless, and he credits his stepfather for being his role model. “He’s fun, responsible and keeps you in check. He has a good attitude and lives a healthy, steady life that revolves around family,” he says.

eonna’s accomplishments literally began from the start. Born at 25 weeks and weighing only one pound, 10 ounces, she fought for her life as an infant and underwent heart surgery, spending three months in the NICU. She is thankful for the medical team who saved her life, and doesn’t take a single day for granted. In school at Oakmont High School, she thrives on building relationships and has done so by being part of Student Government for four years, cheer for one year— where she’s on two teams—and volleyball for four years where she was previously the team captain. “I’m very lucky I have the opportunity to create relationships with everyone on campus,” says Deonna. As ASB president, she leads her peers with hard work and a bright smile. She wants to continue playing volleyball while studying at Folsom Lake College and eventually at Arizona State University, where she plans to earn a degree in criminal justice. Deonna speaks highly of her grandmother and says she wouldn’t be as successful as she is without her. “My grandma is one of the most amazing people I know.

However, she hasn’t let RA interfere with her motivation to live a full life. The teen’s spirit and drive allow her to balance daily tasks and excel in school, serving the community, and in her personal life. Attending Rocklin High School, Emily is most proud of “getting straight As during the first semester of high school, despite having health challenges.” At school, she’s involved in Science Olympiad and also enjoys art and reading. Since her diagnosis at six years old, Emily has been creating awareness about RA and raising funds for the Arthritis Foundation.“I am very proud to have been the Youth Honoree for the Arthritis Foundation last year,” she says. “I hope in my lifetime I can know that I was there to contribute to the success of curing arthritis.” She hopes to not only raise awareness and funds surrounding the disease, but also to help people by working as a doctor or in medical research. Her motivation to assist others—when she herself faces her own medical challenges—proves that age and ability don’t always come first…generosity and a strong desire for change are key to making a lasting difference.—EP FAVORITES Escape: Going to the beach, reading or creating art Guilty pleasure: Donuts Meal in town: Old Spaghetti Factory Local landmark: Downtown Grass Valley

In school, he is part of many clubs, but enjoys his time spent in Spanish Storytime—a group that reads books to underprivileged Spanish and English-speaking students—the most. “I often sense pride in the native Spanish-speaking students when they can actively participate in the conversation. For the English-speaking students, we translate the stories for their enjoyment. For me, it’s inspiring to see these young minds so eager to learn and grow despite the hardships they face,” he says. Not only does Jay assist homeless families and underprivileged students, he also helps his fellow peers with tutoring and even started his own tutoring service called Placer Tutors, which helps to improve grades and offers SAT/ACT prep. Jay plans to earn a degree in computer science while abiding by his parents’ effective message about education and hard work. “Both my parents have always been my inspiration.

In fact, she considers her proudest accomplishment to be staying true to herself by choosing theater arts as her major at William Jessup University. “It is a statement to myself and those around me that this is a part of me and whether I ‘make it’ or not, I am being freely me and standing up for an art form that has the power to move and shake a culture,” she explains. Her hopes are to establish herself as an actress locally—to earn professional credits for her resume—and then head to New York. “That is where I will begin the task of auditioning, learning, and growing more in my craft.” Morgan has had acting coaches whose guidance toward excellence has motivated her in her career and in her personal life. She also claims her parents as inspirations, for instilling in her hard work, passion and a desire for a faith in God. “I hope I can be half as inspirational and caring as these people have been in my life,” she says. Currently, Morgan is active in the University Choir and Orchestra, performing for local churches and even touring parts of Northern California.

In addition to helping students in the program, she’s also a senior mentor who helps freshmen ease into their first year of high school, and teaches piano—an instrument she’s been playing since she was four years old—to children. Sarah has a diverse list of accomplishments, in part, due to her parents. “They’ve taught me to work hard and stand up for what I believe in,” says the teen.

What’s more, he broke Ponderosa High School’s 40-yearold 4x800 meter record at the Arcadia Invitational with his teammates and has received the Coach’s Award, Sportsmanship Award, Scholar Athlete Award and Second Team All-League Honors. He’s also received an academic letter, three academic pins, and the Life Fitness Department Award. What makes Tanner unique, though, is a five-inch scar that runs across his face. While cutting wood one morning with his father, Tanner received a blow to his face when the chainsaw they were using kicked back. His face was instantly split open, and he needed 60 stitches to patch it up. Luckily, the chainsaw missed his carotid artery by a quarter of an inch and spared him his life. After a year of recovery, Tanner is back on his feet, and more positive than ever. “Every morning when I look in the mirror, I reminisce about how lucky I am to be alive,” he says. “[The chainsaw accident] altered my perspective on life and gave me an opportunity to step back and look at everything that God has blessed me with...my goal is to embrace my unique physical appearance while being myself, and to ensure that everywhere I go, my legacy reflects my true character, not my appearance.”—TM

He’s since transferred to EDUHSD Virtual Academy High School, where all is well again. “Let go of the little things and make memories, no matter where you are or who you are with.

Old Town Pizza The Slice is Right

By LORN RANDALL // Photos By DANTE FONTANA

It’s surprising to venture into a place called Old Town Pizza (OTP), on the edge of Old Town Roseville, only to find a modern dining establishment. A plaque outside commemorates the site’s rich history of being built as a residence in 1890, later utilized as a private hospital, then razed and rebuilt in 1954 and renovated again in 1993. Before transforming into OTP, it was home to a Safeway, a gym, a bank and various other businesses. While the classic red brick and awning support the notion of a bank or office building, the quaint copper figure— captured in the act of serving pizza and sited outside— ensures you’ve come to the right place. Once inside, contemporary combines with antiquity; brick walls and concrete floors coexist with big-screen TVs and 24 craft beers on tap, including many local favorites. The menu boasts an array of appetizers, Italianinspired subs, desserts, and specialty pizzas with names that pay homage to the region’s rich railroad history like BBQ Boxcar, Veggie Train, and Caboose. The latter—a substantial pie consisting of four types of delicious cured pork (pepperoni, sausage, linguica and salami), onions, black olives and mushrooms—is an overwhelming customer favorite. Our table started with the sampler appetizer plate, replete with wings, garlic bread, chicken tenders and dipping sauce. The slightly spicy buffalo-style wings were baked naked, making them ultra-crispy, and would have been just fine by themselves, sans sauce, with a pint of one of the rotating beers. The garlic bread, which featured thick slices of French bread topped with a buttery garlic spread and melty mozzarella, was nearly impossible to keep our fingers out of. A caprese salad followed and again featured the juxtaposition of new and old that would have been at home in an upscale Italian restaurant. The beautifully plated presentation of fresh red tomato, alternately shingled with thick slices of mozzarella and whole basil leaves— complemented by a drizzle of balsamic reduction—tasted as good as it looked. Place the same ingredients on a thin crust and you have their Pizza Margherita, which for me is the test of a quality pie. With two large dining areas, plus a private party room, game room, outdoor patio, and sports bar atmosphere, it’s a pizza parlor that beckons patrons to sit back, eat (and drink) up, and stay awhile.

The garlic bread, which featured thick slices of French bread topped with a buttery garlic spread and melty mozzarella, was nearly impossible to keep our fingers out of.

FOODIE FIND

FOODIE FIND

By TARA MENDANHA

Yummy Poké // There’s nothing hokey about poke. This Hawaiian treat is quick, healthy, and definitely delicious. It’s also all the rage, which is

why Yummy Poké in Rocklin was teeming with patrons when I visited, despite being surrounded by numerous other eateries. Hunger pangs appeared out of nowhere as soon as I stepped into the casual restaurant and took one look at the bar that was filled with raw and fresh offerings. The Regular Bowl gives you the choice of white rice, brown rice or mixed greens (or half-and-half) as a base, along with three proteins and unlimited toppings. I asked for white rice and mixed greens, topped with spicy tuna, shrimp and albacore. I then proceeded to ask for “everything on top” for a comprehensive analysis of the food (no—gluttony had nothing to do with it). I ogled as scoops of carrots, onions, corn, cucumbers, edamame, jalapeños, ginger, crispy onions, seaweed salad, crab salad, masago, avocado ($1 extra) and green onions cascaded into my bowl. A drizzle of ponzu and sweet unagi sauce and a smidgen of wasabi topped off the colorful medley. Each bite offered a delightful assortment of flavors and a variety of textures. Like the name suggests, the food here is exceptionally yummy, and I’m now a big fan. Yummy Poké for the win! Yummy Poké, 6696 Lonetree Boulevard, Suite 300, Rocklin. 916-872-1477, myyummypoke.com.

THE HIT LIST

6 Favorite Fine Dining Restaurants compiled by STYLE STAFFERS photos by DANTE FONTANA

When it comes to getting gussied up and emptying your wallet for a memorable meal out, these are Style staffers’ picks. In no particular order… “One of my favorite spots is CIBO 7 RISTORANTE WINE BAR AND SPIRITS. The ambience is just upscale enough to make you feel special without being stuffy. The food is always a great combination of innovative and classic—the handmade pasta dishes are unfailingly fantastic, and the desserts are always inventive and delicious.” cibo7.com

“HAWKS RESTAURANT has a romantic ambience and is one of the nicest restaurants in our region. The menu—featuring New American fare with a French influence—changes frequently but is always a crowdpleaser. I recommend their Seasonal Chef’s Tasting Menu (five courses prepared for the entire table with an optional wine pairing), but whatever you decide, a meal here is always a delight!” hawksrestaurant.com

“For my birthday one year, my friends and I got dolled up and headed to TASTE in Plymouth for a mouthwatering meal with service fit for royalty. From their small tastes (the mushroom cigars are a must) to their large tastes (filet mignon or the scallops…decisions, decisions) and desserts (a trio of crème brûlée, be still my heart), it was truly a night to remember!” restauranttaste.com

“When I’m feeling classy and don’t want to travel terribly far, LA PROVENCE RESTAURANT AND TERRACE is my not-so-well-kept secret. Their everyday menu, wine list and cocktails always satisfy, and if they’re offering a prix fixe dinner it can’t be beat for price or quality.” laprovenceroseville.com

“If you’re looking to impress a date, or even a friend or client, BACCHUS HOUSE BISTRO is your spot. The warm atmosphere and comfortable décor, coupled with the noteworthy wine list, fabulous food and stellar service, makes for a great night out. Oh, and don’t miss the piano player on the first Friday of the month.” bacchushousebistro.com

54

“LAND OCEAN NEW AMERICAN GRILL is sited in a swanky, lively space that’s perfect for date night. Cozy up with a handcrafted cocktail and something from the “land” (Marinated Bistro Steak for the win) and the “ocean” (I recommend the Macadamia Nut Crusted Sea Bass). Just promise to save room for the Chocolate Lava Cake.” landoceanrestaurants.com

TASTE // SIP ON THIS

CITRUS SHRIMP Although my family spent most weekends on Lake Martin, at least one week of the year was reserved for the beach. We’d pack Mama’s car to the gills and head out well before daybreak so that we’d arrive in plenty of time for supper, since we knew Daddy would cook fresh Gulf shrimp. This citrus shrimp recipe takes me right back to those trips. Bright and fresh from the citrus, it’s fast enough for a weeknight meal and pretty enough for entertaining, especially when served on a platter with lemon and orange wedges. 1 tbsp. olive oil 1 cup fresh orange juice 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 tbsp. finely chopped onion 1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 3 lbs. medium shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 medium orange, cut into wedges 1 medium lemon, cut into wedges

In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, orange juice, lemon juice, garlic, onion, 2 teaspoons of the parsley, and pepper. Add a Pinch: Easier, Pour the mixture into Faster, Fresher a large skillet set over Southern Classics by Robyn Stone; medium heat. Bring Foreword by Ree to a simmer and cook Drummond until reduced by half, (Clarkson Potter/ Publishers, 2017, $25) 5 to 8 minutes. Add the shrimp, cover, and cook until they turn pink, about 5 minutes.Top with the remaining parsley. Serve with the orange and lemon wedges on the side. Serves 6.

BIKE DOG BREWING CO’S WEST SAC WHEAT ABV: 5.5% IBU: 24

Bike Dog is a 15-barrel brewhouse in West Sacramento that was founded by four locals who share a love of craft beer, bikes and canines (they often host “Yappy Hours,” where the Sacramento SPCA brings adoptable dogs to the tasting room and a dollar is donated from every pint purchased to the nonprofit). Though known for their Milk Stout and brewing a wide variety of IPAs and pale ales, you shouldn’t look past their other styles, including the West Sac Wheat. It’s perfect for both hop lovers and those who prefer light, crisp and refreshing beers. With aromas of banana and guava, and flavors of mango and pineapple, each sip transports you to a white sand beach. Being dry-hopped with Citra gives it a mild, slightly tropical taste and brings out the sweetness in dishes like Citrus Shrimp.—Eden Tuscano, 36 Handles Restaurant & Pub

They believe in the product and want us to succeed as a business. I have such loyal employees who work very hard to get the word out about our small niche. I trust Wende Joest, Debbie Tayler and Anna Miller completely.

Chiropractic most certainly found me. Years ago, I was plagued with a complicated lung infection, and traditional methods of health care were not responding well; plus, I never liked taking prescription drugs. I met a chiropractor who explained the reason why it gets exceptional results is because it’s centered around working with the body's nervous system—the system that controls all function, including your lungs and immunity. Needless to say, within three days, my health had completely reversed for the better and my blood panels were back to normal. It was nothing short of a miracle. After my life-changing experience, I knew I would never sleep another night unless I became a chiropractor myself.

What life accomplishments are you most proud of?

Why is your staff the best in the business?

Being married for over 34 years to my very supportive, tolerant and talented husband, Bruno Peters. We have three wonderful kids and two wonderful grandkids. Life doesn’t get much better than that for accomplishment. In business, my greatest accomplishments are the teams I’ve created and the people I've developed to be leaders in life.

Other than our Elk Grove location, we are the only chiropractors in the area who offer such precise and specific upper cervical chiropractic care, thus resolving all, or almost all, of patient’s health care complaints and chronic conditions.

Why is your staff the best in the business?

Who is your role model in business or in life, and why?
 Les Wexner—founder of L Brands (formerly Limited Brands). I spent most of my life working for his brands, which feature quality products for a value. He taught me to respect the people who pay me—the customer—and the people who choose to work for me. They are a gift.

What life accomplishments are you most proud of? I am most proud of my scuba certifications and the places I’ve traveled on my own for diving purposes.

What’s your biggest job perk?

Beach Hut Deli. It tastes great and has a fun atmosphere!

It's easy to take the simple things in life for granted. Golfing on a Tuesday afternoon, hiking, bending down to pick up or play with your kids or grandkids, even driving your car! At The Specific, I see people who can no longer enjoy these simple actions. After receiving my care, the biggest job perk for me is when they're able to do those activities once again.

If you could be in any other profession, what would it be?

What’s your favorite place to eat out locally?

A college professor of business management.

I've been loving Sienna lately.

And finally, customer service is...?

And finally, customer service is…?

Customer service is fun, and it makes me feel good to give it. Hopefully it makes my customers feel good to be served by me.

Providing an exceptional, unforgettable experience.

What’s your favorite local business other than your own?

There’s Something About Mary TV’s Independent Icon by TOM MAILEY // illustrated by DAVID NORBY

Of all the celebrity deaths recently—and really, there’ve been way, way too many—Mary Tyler Moore’s might have hit me the hardest. The iconic actress passed away in January at the age of 80 and with her (as cheesy as it sounds), an important part of my childhood did too. When I was a kid, there was nothing better to my ears than my mom’s laugh. It was an utter burst of audible joy that filled the house, and my heart. When Momma’s happy, right? Not to get too psychoanalytical, but I think the reason I’ve always liked to try and make others laugh is because, in the beginning, I used to like to make her laugh. Right up until her last days, that laugh was always the best seal of approval I could ever imagine. No award, no winning lottery ticket, could ever come close to how good it felt to make her laugh. Anyway, while my stuff was certainly never guaranteed to earn one of her guffaws (just like always, with me), two things were: The Carol Burnett Show and Catch Tom on the Pat and Tom Morning The Mary Tyler Moore Show. For a time in Show on New the early ’70s, I could count on hearing Country 105.1, email him at tnvmailey@ at least a couple of those hearty, wallgmail.com, or follow him on Twitter shaking bursts of laughter every week, @kncitom. the kind that would bring you from another room to see what was so damned WHAT’S COMING NEXT MONTH? funny. Carol and Mary, and their co-stars, Don’t miss Style’s “Your Perfect comic geniuses like Tim Conway, Harvey Summer Day: 99+ Korman, Ted Knight, the inimitable Betty Ways to Soak Up the Sun.” White…they were as much of an escape for her as the one cigarette she used to

sneak every night after dinner. Because—while I know she watched because the shows were funny—I think she also watched because she appreciated and admired the independence of Carol and Mary. Especially Mary. My mom was from a different era. She and her sister grew up poor during the Great Depression, raised by their grandmother in a small Idaho town, because their mother died when they were young and their father, while he was around…well, back then most men just didn’t do things like raise girls on their own. Later, she, like a lot of young women, worked in a shipyard during World War II, dipping electrical wire into vats of molten silver. Decades later, she admitted she would bring costume jewelry to work and, when nobody was looking, would dip it into the molten silver. Hey, Depression-era people were resourceful. After the war she held a job at a department store, but when she married she quit, and for the next nearly four decades her only job was raising four kids. She never went back to work, never went to college. And I think… no, I know…she always felt she’d missed out. It wasn’t something she talked about; her generation didn’t, about stuff like that. But I think when the ’60s and women’s empowerment rolled around, she was still young enough to understand and relate to what was going on, but because of her age and the norms of her generation, she felt it was beyond her reach. I’m convinced it’s why later she was so especially proud of my sisters for the successful, educated lives they created f o r t h e m s e l v e s. H e r granddaughters, too. So, even though she tuned in because Mary Tyler Moore made her laugh, my mom also watched because she admired the character, Mary Richards, and saw in her a little of what could have been, and what could still be, for her daughters. On behalf of my mom…here’s to you, Mary Tyler Moore. RIP. And thank you. FOR MORE TOM’S TAKES, VISIT STYLERGBR.COM.

good be this easy

I’M VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS.

Dr. Almonte and staff were very personable and comforting as I was nervous on my first visit and didn’t know anything about plastic surgery except I knew I wanted to improve the way I looked. Dr. Almonte was very informative and I learned so much. He put me at ease and thoroughly explained different procedures and options. From there our journey to my new and young appearance began... lower eyelid, upper eyelid, mini facelift and mini tummy tuck. I love the way I look now. I look RESTED, REFRESHED and YOUNGER. LOVE IT! Thank you Dr. Almonte for your wonderful work!
